Effects of Beauveria bassiana on Quantity of F1 Larvae and Larval Mortality of Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
Abstract
In this study, larval
mortality of Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera:
Tenebrionidae) due to Beauveria bassiana
infections and the number of larvae produced in the presence of B. bassiana spores were investigated.
Larvae were kept in wheat treated with spores and mortalities were assessed. In
a long-term experiment, number of larvae and mortality was recorded after 3
months. Within 7 days, larval mortality was 55% at 250ppm and over 75% at
higher concentrations. The mortality reached 100% on day 14 in all fungus
treatments. After the adults were kept for 14 and 28 days, 6.3 and 12.0 larvae
in treatments and 1 and 6.3 larvae in control units were counted, respectively.
In the long-term experiment, number of larvae was 10.3, 42.0 and 260.3 in the
control, 500ppm and 1000ppm treatments, respectively. Larval mortalities were
%97.4 in 500ppm and 100% in 1000ppm treatments.
The results show that although B.
bassiana treatment increases the number of T. confusum larvae as the concentration increases, B. bassiana treatment also cause high
levels of larval mortalities depending on concentration and time, suggesting
that, B. basssiana treatment can have
a role in controlling T. confusum
populations.
